Had a pretty busy work week, hardly got time to read anything. So still on The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm on Shakespeare for Squirrels by Christopher Moore. I recently worked through Lamb, A Dirty Job, and Secondhand Souls by him during a couple of long road trips.

I picked up reading You by Caroline Kepnes assuming I might be able to get back into print reading with material that I'm vaguely familiar with ( I watched a season of the show years ago), but I've stalled with it the same as I have every time when attempting reading over listening in recent years.

Reading Vita Nostra by Marina & Sergey Dyachenko, along with Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz when I need a break from Vita Nostra's slow pacing.

No One Will Come Back for Us by Premee Mohamed (fantasy and cosmic-y horror short stories) | bingo: minority author, alliterative, short HM

I don't really have a description for this one. A few of the stories have a shared setting; a few others have a war/revolution theme.

None of the stories in this were bad, they just didn't all appeal to me; the shared-setting ones were coincidentally my favorite. I've realized that part of my issue with collections/anthologies is that I'm stuck diving in blind for every single story, hoping that the author/theme is enough to carry my interest.
